lights

I took off my glasses on the way home today,
a midnight ride along the bright streets.
The lights suffused over my visual field,
the sodium yellow, the happy red,
the living green and the neutral amber.
They exploded over each other,
each like a mini firework the size of a coin
overlapping, complementing, accentuating.
Winking at me as they flirted through
the dense leaves and the slender posts,
urging me to join in their dance.
'twas like a fantasy world,
where colours meld into each other
joining together in a mass of festival
all dreamy-like in the bokeh background.


Thoughts: if only I have conscious control over the focus of my eyes... like the focus ring of a camera lens.
